The Mid-Atlantic, South and West Coast were the three most active regions for private equity investing in 2013, according to PitchBook data, as of Dec. 16. The Mid-Atlantic and South received a disproportionate amount of capital from PE firms this year, thanks largely to the mega-buyouts of Dell and Heinz, while the West Coast had a dearth of billion-dollar deals. But overall, investing by region remained largely in line with previous years, showing that the private equity industry has been able to find deal opportunities across the country, even in areas that suffered the most following the financial crisis, such as the Great Lakes or Southeast.
